The request can have a member attribute and a time frame. The personalized communication system can access member data and behavior data from the social network. Additionally, the personalized communication system can determine a target group based on the member data and the member attribute. Furthermore, the personalized communication system can calculate a number of unique visitors to the social network from the target group based on the member attribute, the time frame, and a frequency cap.
